GDAL is a large library with many optional dependencies which allow support for more formats. Currently the amount of formats supported is still limited, but will grow over time. Lists of available formats can be found [here](https://gdal.org/drivers/raster/index.html) for rasters and [here](https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/index.html) for vectors. If you need support for another format, consider making an issue or PR at the GDALBuilder repository. Many formats need external libraries as added dependencies. This means a BinaryBuilder repository also needs to be available for that library, and added as a dependency. +This means that the GDAL binaries you are using, which normally come from the [Yggdrasil community build tree](https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil/tree/master/G/GDAL), are not compiled with support for the format or feature you need.
